H1 2025 SAP SuccessFactors Release: What You Need to Know(And How to Stay Ahead)

 

Every April and October, SAP SuccessFactors customers receive a wave of new features. Whether it's changes to Employee Central, Learning, Recruiting, or Compensation, keeping up with releases is essential to making the most of your system - and avoiding disruption.

These biannual releases play a crucial role in maintaining compliance, unlocking new capabilities, and ensuring your HR technology evolves with your business.

But the process can feel overwhelming. That’s where Jigsaw Cloud comes in.

 

Our Release Review Process

We help our customers stay ahead of the changes with a structured, expert-led approach:

- We notify customers in advance and share a clear testing timeline

- Our functional consultants review the release content in specialist groups

- A lead consultant records on-demand walkthrough videos

- We publish blog posts, slides, and testing workbooks by module

- We offer 1:1 sessions to answer questions and support changes

It’s all hosted in our Customer Hub Knowledge Base, so it's available whenever you need it.
